Norwich continue their chase for automatic promotion to the Premiership with a televised trip to play-off hopefuls Reading today.

The Canaries lead Division One on goal difference from West Bromwich Albion and will be looking to put daylight between themselves and the Baggies - who visit Millwall today - with victory at the Madejski Stadium.

With the game kicking off at 5.35, the East Anglian side will have the advantage of knowing what West Brom and Sunderland, who are pushing hard to break into the top two, have done.

Striker Leon McKenzie is manager Nigel Worthington's main concern with a rib injury ahead of the game.

Veteran striker Iwan Roberts (calf strain) and Northern Ireland international Paul McVeigh (stomach bug) missed out in the 2-0 home win over Wigan but Worthington is hopeful they will be available this afternoon.

Steve Sidwell returns from suspension for the Royals but striker Lloyd Owusu is still not 100pc after a chest injury restricted him to an unused substitute role in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Bradford.

However, Nicky Forster showed he is over his injury problems by appearing as a substitute against the Bantams.

Burnley manager Stan Ternent will be without suspended defender David May, so Mark McGregor and Graham Branch are likely to continue in central defence against Watford. Watford's Hameur Bouazza showed he is over his injury worries by appearing as a second-half substitute against Crewe.

Crewe manager Dario Gradi has no new injury or suspension worries but looks set to ring the changes after the defeat to Watford.

Coventry manager Eric Black has no new injury worries, with Onandi Lowe challenging Julian Joachim for a starting place. Crystal Palace striker Neil Shipperley is a doubt with a groin strain and may be replaced by Dougie Freedman.

Pavel Srnicek is likely to continue in the West Ham goal with Stephen Bywater still suspended. Steve Lomas returned from injury against Derby, but Don Hutchison (groin) and Rob Lee (knee) are again doubtful.

Marco Reich and Junior, who have been suffering from hamstring problems, may come into contention for Derby, as will Michael Johnson (calf).
